Open up the registry editor and search for GIMP and delete the key (bit on the right) that says GIMP, may be some stuff on the left but be very careful when playing in the registry...

I'ld backup the registry and then delete the line 
Can always restore your old registry if anything peculiar happens although from memory I would imagine the worst it would do is not know how to open an image without prompting you first...

How about CC Cleaner, usually gets rid of old bits for me after an uninstall

Registry is really the way to go with this one... run 'Regedit' and back it up then...
Go to the following key: HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.
Scroll down the list of file extensions to the one for which you want to edit or clear the list.
Click the + to expand OpenWithList.
In the right pane, you should see a list of programs (for example, Word.exe, notepad.exe, etc.).
Click the one(s) you want to remove. Press the Delete key.
If this doesn't remove the program(s) you want to remove, go to: HKEY CLASSES ROOT, scroll to the desired file extension, click OpenWithList, and remove the program there (the settings under HKEY CURRENT USER apply only when your user account is logged on. The ones under HKEY CLASSES ROOT apply to all users).

I regularly run Wise Reg Cleaner v5 - and it has not removed Gimp from the drop-down list
Is CC Cleaner better/different ?

Derek...still undecided to tackle the Registry with my limited knowledge so will leave it - it's only a small irritation - thanks anyway !
decided to stick with the D40 as per your recommendation - only really interested in landscapes anyway - may treat myself to a Tamron 11-18mm later as I gain more experience
I was indeed interested in a D200 but - got an infraction for commenting in the sale thread for the last one - so kinda taken the edge off that
give me a PM about which camera you will be keeping ...
.. cheers
